Figure Lengend Snippet: Increasing CD8 + T-cell infiltration into LLC tumors does not correlate with improved antitumor effects. A and B, Growth curve ( A ) and tumor weights ( B ) of LLC tumors in WT mice after isotype, αCD40, αCSF1R, and αCD40/αCSF1R treatment. Representative data from three independent experiments ( n = 7). C–E, Percentage of TAMs ( C ), ratio of MHC-II high to MHC-II low TAMs ( D ), and percentage of CD8 + T cells ( E ) within LLC tumors after treatment. F–H, Percentage of neutrophils ( F ), Tregs ( G ), and CD8 + T cells ( H ) within LLC and B16F10 tumors after isotype or αCD40/αCSF1R treatment. I, Percentage of CD8 + T cells within LLC tumors after Flt3L pretreatment and subsequent isotype or αCD40/αCSF1R treatment. Data from one experiment ( n = 7). J, Growth curve of LLC tumors in WT mice after treatment with isotype, αCD40/αCSF1R, Flt3L, or Flt3L/αCD40/αCSF1R. Data from one experiment ( n = 7). K, Percentage of CD8 + T cells within LLC tumors after isotype, αCD25, αCD40/αCSF1R, or αCD40/αCSF1R/αCD25 treatment. Data from one experiment ( n = 7). L, Growth curve of LLC tumors after isotype, αCD25, αCD40/αCSF1R, or αCD40/αCSF1R/αCD25 treatment. M, CXCR2 expression by neutrophils in bone marrow, spleen, blood, and tumor from naïve or LLC tumor-bearing mice. N, Splenocyte proliferation after coculture of splenocytes with day 15 LLC-derived CXCR2 + or CXCR2 – neutrophils measured via 3H-thymidine incorporation (c.p.m., count per minute; n = 3, data pooled from three independent experiments) . O, Growth curve of LLC tumors in Csf3r +/+ or Csf3r –/– after isotype or αCD40/αCSF1R treatment. Representative data from two independent experiments ( n = 7). ns, nonsignificant; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: For CD40 agonist treatments, a single dose of 100 μg of αCD40 (clone: FGK4.5; BioXCell) agonist antibody or rat IgG2a isotype control (clone 2A3; BioXCell) was administered intraperitoneally in a volume of 100 μL HBSS when tumors reached approximately 100 mm 3 .
